Plowman Creek is such a nice park. Staff was super friendly and easy going! We camped 3 nights in Site 9 which was right on the water at the end next to the boat ramp. Very beautiful site. Really liked the spacious lakefront camp sites ✨⛺️
Very nice COE Park, fishing is good and plenty of wild life in the park. Must have reservations to use the park camp sites. Water and electric on most of the sites, but they are tent sites available at lower rates with water only.
Love the park but needs someone to do maintenance on campsites. The sites need leveled and not with the land. Grass needs mowed at campsites. Someone needs to contact verizon for a tower in the park. No service to call park manger when a large cat (bobcat or cougar) showed up at our camp 2 nights in a row. The coyotes came threw right after the bobcat or cougar. Think they were all looking for the two fawns that came threw that day. But over all would be a nice park with all repairs. Needs kids swings. Oh wait OMG the bugs will kill you. We had a 4 ft. swarm at the camp and all so when we rode our bikes about 6pm. Park needs sprayed bad. The road to the dump station needs paved and also the road to the Equine park needs paved.
I watched the little girl come clean the site next to us. Picked up a couple pieces of trash lifted the fire pit and left. I walked over there and there was a cut up water hose # 12 and broken glass high grass with stickers
at each site. I think I need to visit every park and do the reviews for the state. The Host drove by every hour.
Absolutely love Plowman Creek. We personally like sites 16 and above. The park is clean and beautiful views
This is an alright campground. The campground itself is very nice. The cost is decent for an electric site ($24). At night you hear trains going by more often than I would like, plus camp neighbors didn't seem to respect quiet time. I'm not sure we would return.
